Netizens react to the viral post.

Social media users praised the idea, and one person called it a “Gym goers ka dream menu in shaadi.” Another user wrote, “Love this. Absolutely love this. Not only because I’m a lot into lifestyle and fitness, but because this will help people understand the consequences of their food habits on them.” A third user questioned, “Wo sab theek hai, but why is rumali ruti nonveg???” Responding to this, the original person posting it wrote, “The event followed a Bengali menu and took place during Ram Navami. Since some people avoid roasted items during the festival, the rumali roti—cooked directly on flame—was marked separately, and puris were offered instead for those keeping a vegetarian diet on the occasion.”
